One thing is imperative That you understand: I will bow to no God, and kneel to no man. I am sure and steady On these feet where I stand, And any faith I possess Is placed in my hands.
Doctors say Once you reach the age of maturity You will cease to grow; But how does that explain The heights that I reach, The expansion of my heart, Or the width of my smile When I'm wrapped in your arms? It doesn't.
I envy the light that lays upon your skin And illuminates the love that you veil deep within. An intoxicating laugh carried through the breeze From the liquored lips I so thirst to seize. Such enchantment brings me to my knees My heart at your whim, my soul at ease.
Deemed clumsy my entire life I would have never guessed That I should stumble upon Something so worth the fall That I would eagerly dive Heart first into the ground If I was certain that It would be your arms Enveloping me into you Once I came to.
It was as if the curtains split And caused these flames to ignite And the lucid beckoning in your eyes Glistened fiercely in the light The smoke threatens to seep in And though try, it might Our fire blazes through these shadows And won't retreat without a fight
If someone asked me to describe What it was like to hear My name escape From the sweet, sweet lips That I've always dreamt about I would tell them That it was as if You wrapped explosives Tight around my heart And with every whispered word Every delicate touch Every loving kiss A very small piece Would blissfully burst And heat my entire body Until I was so warm with love That I truly believed I was melting
I succumbed to the plea In those lovely brown eyes Not because I'm lonely Or afraid of goodbyes But because I've known valleys And with you, I'm so high Once concealed by the shadows Now embraced by the sky
I stumble as if intoxicated But reek of agony instead. Not even the strongest liquor Could rinse you from my head. While thinning the blood in my veins My heart pounds to what you said. Though I would rather you love me, You would much rather be dead.
Praying, praying, praying this drink puts me to bed.
Do you remember December? How the cold made my hands tremor? Or how it made your scent linger? We used lips to warm fingers. Or the whining of the wind? With every light dimmed? I yearned for your skin. Our smiles felt endless And I was left breathless.
Don't chalk me up as a bad habit When I'm the only one that kept you sober. And how dare you lick The perfume from your lips Moments before you kiss mine. Devour your drink, lover; Remind us who you are. And when your eyes gloss over Don't chalk me up as just a bad habit When I'm the only one that kept you sober.
I take pride in this heart of stone, Even if it means being alone. While fools revel in the idea of "our", I will recline and enjoy my power. And though lust is a meal I often devour, You'll mean nothing to me by the end of the hour.
The sun has yet To prove it's purpose When it hardly compares To the warmth of your smile. But who am I To interpret such heat? I've nothing but ice In my veins.
The pressure of your lips The dirt on my tongue.. It all tasted the same. I never knew what it would be like To feel hollow Until my knees crumbled And the floor became my home. The wind was never A good friend of mine; It only whispered under the sun But whipped when I was bare. And I'm starting to wonder If that foreshadowed The way our hearts Are always in the wrong place At the wrong time.
I'm drowning in your moans Every word that melts from your lips Floods the room about us Suffocating me into believing That I would be satisfied Spending my last moments Staring into your eyes Breathless
A year it has been A year it has taken me To reconstruct this wall Even higher than before. In one night it has taken you No more than a smile To send me back to work Brick by brick.
Your lips fell to mine Like a building barreling down Destroying what was left Of my good judgement And replacing it with a massive hole That only you could fill.
Never alone But always lonely I've nothing to hang onto So you never hold me Dripping from your hands With a futile disgust We're dreaming of love Yet give into lust
Concentrate on my voice Though it's barely alive And listen for the girl You've trapped inside. A house with locked doors And you've swallowed every key. With all the windows closed To drown out all her screams. You hold my hand each day But haunt my every dream.
Your lies could stretch for miles And I'd still hang on your every word As if your voice was a buoy In my sea of senselessness. I long to love you The way you should be loved, But I'm not sure how you'd handle truth If it were to wrap around your tongue.
The horn of the midnight train is the only thing loud enough to interrupt my thoughts of you every night.. And the 2am train And the 3am train And you're all I think about And I can't sleep And I hate you I wonder how loud the train is When you're standing right in front of it.
Drunken rant of a poem about how you ruin my life.
You make it impossible to fall asleep And agonizing to stay awake. Every miserable moment that passes Helps me to understand That I'm no closer to finding out Where you've gone Than I am to finding my voice.
